I talked to a guy in Houston that had a 190e with a 3.2L transplant - he said it was too fast for him to feel safe and he got rid of it.

 

Yes, I have pictures plus a original German sales brochure for it. Less than 200 examples were made in 1992-93

I don't have the entire brochure scanned, but here are some pictures from it.

 

Ah my god, forget the w201 evo II, thats just un-attainable. However, this 3.2l manual 190e AMG, there must be some around that people dont really want.

 

Never shipped to the US and only available with the auto trans, no manual was available. The EVOI and EVOII both were better vehicles IMO, the I6 makes the 190e too heavy in the front.

 

hood is aftermarket...no customization...performance products for benz sells a complete kit with that hood....

-OG

 

Most likely, the SEC grill is a bolt/weld on item, that attach's to the OE hood. These were very popular in the 80's, I even have one for a 190e in my garage.

 

Damn :C

 

The reference to "Hammer" on the invoice appears a bit suspect

 

the member was on the forums...i bought my car from him and when i went to pick it up i was admiring this one. i thought he sold it tho

 

I meant to say, I've never seen a port and polish from AMG that year and also didn't see it on the list of AMG mods he had.

 

I would buy this car for 10k, why wouldn't you. It looks slick as hell (other than the dank hood). No one here can deny that. Seriously, this is the look most people try for and never get. If you add up what all that would cost to do to a stock 300CE, you would be diving in to a money pit. Worth the even 10k IMHO. The only fault is the color. I am no expert, but that does not look like an AMG color from all the cars I have seen. I would like to see black or something other than default white.

 

I like the two pictures of the instrument cluster, one dead stock and the other white "original AMG".

And yes, AMG North America did do port and polish jobs back in 1988 at their Florida location. Their menu was very a la carte and you could get any type of performance or appearance enhancements available as long as you wrote the check.

For motor work they would either take you motor apart or order a new block and parts depending upon how aggressive you wanted to go.

Hard to tell from the description but this car looks very much like they almost got it right. The "invoice" looks like the type a dealer would add to the window sticker so it would not have all the pn and associated information. In fact, it doesn't even say it was done by AMG, only "in accordance with AMG factory procedures" -- ie "dealer installed".

 

what the hell is wrong with the rear bumper, where it meets the trunk?? It looks as if it has "waves"

 

Your right about the wave this might be a replica kit which just sticks the original cover. I know for a fact though that there was no cut out for the exhaust on the gen II kit which is on my car. This my friends is bogus. Now if everything was legit, I would definately purchase the car for 10K or 12K or 14K but the 18K hes asking, no way. Oh by the good second catch of the instrument cluster....I noticed that right away. And if the pictures were recent most of the mods would be recent and I dont think there are any AMG shops anymore in the US.

 

On the invoice it says ...AMG DOOR PANELS for $2550 ? What the !!!

 

nice one! LOL I didn't see that.

 

So, How do you have the AMG GenII rear bumper when it's completely different from the AMG GenI you have as your rear bumper on the car right now?

 

I may have gotten them confused my friend chris, His bumper is the same Gen but his has a cutout for the exhaust but never existed on the real kit. Chris I've looked under the bumper It has the AMG part number and everything stamped on it, please dont question it anymore about authenticity of the car. I even have the AMG brochure for 1992 ( AMG and ///AMG logos were in that year of car mods)

 

Factory AMG pictures for 90+ 300E, notice, no cut out on rear bumper

 

Thanks 2Phast thats what I was trying to indicate, and through my research in trying to find out if my car was authentic, I stumble across replica kits that attached to the current bumper piece instead of being a single entity.

Oh the clusters, I think in 88 they were block and not white, but I could never get info on what was available.

 

Just as a question, that car appears to be Euro. Is it possible that the US versions have a different rear valance since there are part differences for exhaust applications on some of the cars and there may be fitment issues?

I ask that because I have seen very real AMG kits that have cut outs in the rear. I was at Renntech in Miami after the Rolex in February and was talking to Bobby about some of the 124 mods that they did back when they were AMG North America. Much of our talk was about 500E [surprise] but we also covered the many variations of the Hammer.

 

Beautiful - I need to find one of those someday. I loved them in the 80s, still do.

 

All this talk about what, everyone here loves W124, i don't think any of you would turn this car down if you had the funds...The Front is Real AMG, the side skirts and real AMG, why would the rear not Be Real AMG it look exactly like the one sitting in my garage..looks like he just fixed what AMG did not see...The rear looks silly with the pipes sitting under there should be a cutout..it just looks right..so he cheapened the car with silly white face guages, fake AMG pedals and a incorrect period Badge, and stupid seat belt covers......
Buy a low mileage 88 coupe-buy a real AMG body kit, Buy Real AMG 3 piece wheels, order and have properly installed a twin turbo intercooled, port & polish the head, add exhaust any aftermarket,Buy sec style hood, Buy trunk lid spoiler, have the whole car repainted in any solid color without the stupid two tone Mercedes treatment, find a near flawless interior or have reupholstered yours and then find a correct period AMG reciept with or without Vin numbers ETC(this reciept is on a new car-probably sitting at the dealership, in those days AMG documentation was as good as mine, and mine is worse than crap) and add all your reciepts together then put the car up for sale, if you come out anywhere near $15,000.00 when done you probably did some back room favors for the break...hollywood madam favors...

in 1988 AMG did what ever you wanted,and they would probably port & polish your A88 hole if you had enough cash or was someone that could spread the word about how great the service was.....

I have 3 AMG invoices dated between 1976 and 1994 1 has a vin number,none have plate numbers and 1 does not even list what model, none list any part numbers at all

My 1976 6.9 had an AMG invoice under the rear power seat for a full body kit and exhaust..no Vin number,no plate just a date and model "6.9" I have no idea if my car is the car for the invoice and no way of finding out, so even though it is rear to have a 6.9 with power seats I cut the darn car up and made a roadster who cares....Some of you guys/girls 15K tied up in a 300e sedan-counting cost of car and all the mods-but this guy should sell his car for $10k please...The most desirable W124's the ones that are the most expensive as of today and last time I checked 500e/Cabriolet is a toss up, coupes are 2nd everything else falls 3rd and keep going down

 

And the AMG door panels are the upper & Lower side body clading or skirts, I have and Invoice that list the same way "Door Panels".

 

Look no further.. http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w124...mg-hammer.html. The actual car.
